Welcome to Capital Walkers, the friendly London Ramblers group for people aged 40+. We walk every weekend and usually at least once during the week.

This varied Chilterns walk winds through rolling countryside and a chain of classic local woodlands -including Wellgrove Wood, Bushy Copse, Famous Copse, and the grounds of Greys Court - before passing through Bix, Crowsley, Sonning Common, and Chazey Heath. Along the way you’ll encounter a mix of steep climbs and gentler ascents and descents, typical of this beautifully undulating landscape. The route finishes with a gentle walk along the Thames into Reading, ending at the railway station. It's the Chilterns, expect natural beauty...
Chilterns National Landscape (formerly the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) takes in a variety of ancient woodlands, chalk grasslands and historic villages. Covering parts of Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. The Chiltern Way is a 177 mile circular route, with various extensions, highlighting the best features of the area.
No exit points. Dress suitably for the Chilterns, with a mind to the weather and wear good walking shoes. Please bring a packed lunch.
The finishing time is an estimate only and will be dependent on a number of factors, such as the weather, the speed at which the group walks and the number of breaks taken.
